I'm angry.

We're getting the front end done in our truck
and this weekend I'll be going for another practice
drive. All this driving is making me excited for
the future.I've been making plans in my head to
take the kids camping,just the three of us. A
wonderful wild adventure! Then I watched a show
last night about four women in a national park
who were murdered by a man fullfilling his horrid
-no words are really apt-fantasies and, the
thought occured to me that I would not feel safe
camping without A. a man B. a dog.

That pisses me off to no end! I shouldn't need
anything but myself to feel safe! And, the worst
part of it? I'm not exactly sure who I'm angry at.
Myself or people who would hurt others. I'm not a
meek woman. I have a voice and power. I am strong
and unafraid when faced with challenges or violence.
I have been able to protect myself many times when
needed and yet I still feel these twinges of fear
when I think about going camping without a man or
a dog. *sigh* The funny thing? Even with a man or a dog,
it's usually ME who jumps up first when needed. So may
be I'm just a dork. Men? How do you feel being our safety
devices? The pressure must be hard to bear,huh? May be
I should just get a gun..I tried to get a Taser-they come in
pink!- but you need to be law inforcement in Canada to
own one. Hmmm,let me see,I can own a fricking GUN but
you won't let me own a Taser??? Why that makes perfect
sense!

I've been getting a lot of hummingbird action(giggidy)
They hang out in my trees:

And mostly take turns at the feeder:

Sometimes they fight like demons. I may have to get another feeder as these guys don't know how to share.
I've seen two types,these red ones-I have no clue
what they are? Rufous Hummingbirds?-and the regular
green ones you see.He came to visit this moring when
I didn't have my camera ready. You need to be quick
with these birds!


Rainbow in my front yard
I couldn't find that pot of gold though!
Have a Happy Hump Day!
